Programs

The Tennessee Bar Association is committed to serving Tennessee lawyers, our justice system and the community at large. These programs — provided by the TBA and partner organizations — have been developed to help meet that committment.

The Tennessee Bar Association welcomes law student involvement and has a number of special programs to help law students enhance their education, get real-life experience in the legal profession and network with established attorneys.

The Tennessee Bar Association's Diversity Job Fair is an initiative of the Committee on Racial & Ethnic Diversity (CRED), whose mission is to enhance racial and ethnic diversity within the profession and the justice system in Tennessee.

Youth Courts have the answer for many young people who have made mistakes that take them into the Juvenile Justice System for the first time on minor offences. Young people decide cases with three things in mind: developing accountability, competency and stronger connections between the youthful offender and the community at large.

If you are concerned about yourself or about a partner, associate, colleague, bar applicant, law student or judge, help is available from the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program. Operated as an agency of the Tennessee Supreme Court, TLAP offers a variety of services, and all communication is completely confidential.
